Nick Sirianni faces growing pressure as Eagles prepare to host Panthers
Philadelphia hosts Carolina on Sunday as the Eagles try to end a three-game losing streak.
Coach Nick Sirianni is under pressure after the team’s recent struggles, including a loss to Jacksonville in London that followed a long kickoff return and a 57-yard winning field goal.
Sirianni has been blamed for key late-game decisions, including how he managed the final minutes against Jacksonville.
The Eagles’ offense has averaged 14.7 points and 217 yards per game during the losing streak, while converting 22.2% of its opportunities on third down.
A fourth straight loss could intensify calls for a coaching change, though Sirianni has never lost four games in a row with Philadelphia.
The Eagles have extra rest before their next game, a Monday night matchup against Dallas in Week 7, and their bye comes in Week 10.
